Court backs Eric Holder on Arizona law

In its ruling, the appeals court essentially agreed with U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton, who last year issued a preliminary injunction against six disputed portions of the legislation, just days before they were to take effect.

“By imposing mandatory obligations on state and local officers, Arizona interferes with the federal government’s authority to implement its priorities and strategies in law enforcement, turning Arizona officers into state-directed [Department of Homeland Security] agents,” Judge Richard Paez wrote, in the majority opinion joined by Judge John Noonan. “The law subverts Congress’ intent that systematic state immigration enforcement will occur under the direction and close supervision of the Attorney General.”

However, Judge Carlos Bea dissented from parts of Monday’s ruling.

“Congress has clearly stated its intention to have state and local agents assist in the enforcement of federal immigration law, at least as to the identification of illegal aliens,” Bea wrote. He noted that a provision in federal law that set up a center to field immigration status inquiries from states “does not limit the number of inquiries that state officials can make, limit the circumstances under which a state official may inquire, nor allow federal officials to limit their responses to the state officials.”

The majority’s interpretation of the case, he wrote, “turns [existing law] into: ‘Don’t call us, we’ll call you,’ when what Congress enacted was, ‘When the state and local officers ask, give them the information,’” Bea wrote.

Paez and Noonan said public complaints from other countries about the Arizona law bolstered the case against it by underscoring the way immigration issues are intertwined with U.S. diplomacy. But Bea also complained that the majority was far too deferential to complaints about the law from foreign countries, allowing them to meddle in an internal American dispute on illegal immigration.

Invoking “Alice in Wonderland,” Bea accused his colleagues of interpreting Congress’s intent to mean the opposite of what lawmakers had wanted. “The majority has apparently mastered its Lewis Carroll,” he wrote.

Paez, joined by Noonan, complained that Bea was resorting “to fairy tale quotes and other superfluous and distracting rhetoric.”

“These devices make light of the seriousness of the issues before this court and distract from the legitimate judicial disagreements that separate the majority and dissent,” the majority said.

Paez was appointed by President Bill Clinton, Noonan by President Ronald Reagan and Bea by President George. W. Bush.

The 9th Circuit is so often wrong that even the liberals on the Supreme Court has said it goes too far, too often. I say let the case be heard in full at the trial court and then make its way up to the Supreme Court where these incorrect rulings can be remedied.

If anybody knows who picks the pictures for these stories, I would sure like to know who it is on the Politico staff that has such a mean streak. The pictures of pubs are so unflattering that the Politico photo-editor takes mean to an art-form.

The Good news is that the Ninth is the most often overturned circut, and this case is going on the SCOTUS.

Expected result, game still on.

Every now and then, Hopperdoodle, I need to remind everyone just how utterly without seriousness you have shown yourself to be. So here's some of your more, ahem, less sober posts, as well as a link to them. At the time you were claiming that TSA officials were sexually molesting young children in the airports. Now, I spend a lot of time in airports, and this was pure fantasy. But Hopperdoodle? Nope - he drank the kool aid and posted over and over again that TSA officials were openly gawking at and groping young children.

And we should take you seriously... why????

Nov. 22, 2010 - 11:08 AM EST RichmondVA: Nov. 22, 2010 - 11:05 AM EST Do you have any idea how utterly ridiculous your belief is that the TSA made a point of hiring sex offenders and empowered them to molest people?

It is Okey Dokey with you if strangers ogle and grope your family, and if that is Okey Dokey with your wife, you are both in line for Obama's parents of the year award.

The rest of us have different ideas about the subject. I hope you don't mind.

The only people dumber than elected officials who require the sexual molestation of their voters are the citizens who would vote for an elected official who requires the sexual molestation of the voters wives and children.

If anybody knows who picks the pictures for these stories, I would sure like to know who it is on the Politico staff that has such a mean streak. The pictures of pubs are so unflattering that the Politico photo-editor takes mean to an art-form.

Who is this mean person?

If you can find a pleasant picture of Jan Brewer, it would be the first one I've ever seen.

FIGHTING THE LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE COURTS WITH THE GROWING TEA PARTY CAUCUS.

In 1986 the Simpson/ Mazzoli bill gave a mass amnesty to every illegal immigrant who settled in America. The need for Guest Workers is one of the most predominant issues allied with the invasion that has taken place in the last thirty years. The Guest Worker has never been obedient with the Dept of Labor regulations since it’s been inundated with fraud. Even after the volume amnesty signed into law by President Ronald Reagan, the opportunists in businesses used their influence to crush the immigration obligations assigned to them. In other words they kept on hiring foreign nationals that was in violation of the law;, the administrations have intentionally overlooked this major problem. The 1986 amnesty allowed the rough figure of 3.5 million, scatter to the four winds leaving the designated farms deserted and the workers joining the main stream work in the cities and communities.

Even the original process was nothing more than a travesty of the "Rule of Law." The numbers of the final immigration tally that was given amnesty was around 6 million, with illegal’s coming out of the woodwork brandishing bogus pre-dated utility bills and fraudulent documents accepted by the (INS) Immigration and Naturalization service; that has become (ICE) Immigration & Customs Service on September 11, 2001. All evidence that an foreigner was in the U.S. for a certain amount of time, or performed a certain number of days of field labor, was abridged to guarantee that all persons could qualify. INS offices were told to accept little more than scribbled copies of handwritten receipts and affidavits from so-called "people" (Not family members) who could attest that the applicant lived or worked for a certain amount of time somewhere in the US. Businesses and their lawyers have colluded with in killing any oversight of the majority of Guest Worker processes that have imported less capable, less skilled into America. Annually without public knowledge at least a million and a half semi-skilled workers (six stealth amnesties) come legally to America, which is a sell out to our own people.

Document mills sprung up countrywide, offering receipts and affidavits to help demonstrate your eligibility for amnesty and eligibility for a green card; this was one of the biggest contradictions to our laws, which should never have happened, nor happen again. Farms and agriculture by law are supposed to provide for the Guest Worker and the family, but instead when sick or injured the burden falls as usual on the taxpayer. For the children of Guest Workers born in the United States they become instant citizens and the American taxpayer only has to read the Pdf file "Illegal Aliens and American Medicine." http://tinyurl.com/o6r27

Even more than Medicare for seniors, Medicaid has become a giant financial anvil around taxpayers’ necks that new citizen children of illegal parents use. Somewhere between 200.000 and 250.000 children of illegal alien parents receive citizenship annually. This is outside the fiscal nightmare of mandatory education that is cramming our classrooms of these children having no conception of English. The neglect of American students is happening nationwide, because teachers are forced to fritter more attention to their learning of non-citizen foreigners. The consequences of that are thousands more teachers must be hired, with means more taxes extracted from us all. This procedure is habitual of dumping illegal alien workers in the emergency rooms, that has become a uncontrollable expenditure, adding to the near 15 Trillion deficit and yet another burden on US taxpayers. We can alway use exceptionally talented workers, but what we don't need is the push of other governments poor and desperate who end up in our welfare lines.

Certainly not something the Liberal press will release to the public at large. Technology today has far surpassed the copy machines and document mills of the late 60's. Any new immigration amnesty which includes Senator Harry Reid's "Dream Act”, Comprehensive Immigration Reform, would be hard to control without state of the art innovations. The 20 million plus who are already illegally here would place America's future in jeopardy, because of the Liberal Democrat agenda or Republicans ravenous need for cheap labor, crushing even more the legitimate lower income US job seeker. Hundreds of thousands of American less educated manual jobs have been displaced by illegal aliens. Not racial prejudice that Liberals cry out continuously, but a genuine need for jobs for Americans born here or legitimate permanent residents. For the two principle parties it’s about votes and profits.

This is where the TEA PARTY of the American people step up to the dais, and no more Club Republican elite or Liberal Progressives using "Political Correctness" tripe to divert the laws of this country. No matter what the majority Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) says or Sen. Reid, the TEA PARTIES influence attributed to the lowering of the debt ceiling by 38 billion dollars. Not enough for sure, but better than nothing at all. Now the TEA PARTY will demand that a new mandated E-Verify becomes a main enforcement tool, followed closely by policing law 287 (g) and Secure Communities. E-Verify would used in audits to detect illegal workers, already working and those about to be hired. With extreme pressure on businesses that try to avoid the law, with chronic penalties of fines, business assets and licensing evoked and prison;

The TEA PARTY is no longer a few loosely unorganized groups as tired, Sen. Harry Reid wheezes-out, but a giant mobilized machine of propagating power. Next to keep the Republican on its tracks is the budget of 2012, beginning with cutting government agencies, stopping the shadow Liberals overspending, not retreating from re-analyzing the unfair treaties of NAFTA and CAFTA for the American consumer and above all else, to enforce all requirement of National Security. Which means the--REAL--fence to protect America from people and drug smuggling? THIS IS THE PEOPLE'S WAR, THAT WE ALL MUST DEFEND AGAINST THE GREED, CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON AND THE ROT THAT IS DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY FROM WITHIN. Illegal Immigration effects jobs of the lowest paid, taxes, our schools, health care and growing irreversible OVERPOPULATION.

Immigration news: Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.) has introduced a bill that would increase border security and strengthen interior enforcement. The Keeping the Pledge on Immigration Act of 2011 (H.R.1274) requires the US Government to deploy national guard troops to the border and includes the CLEAR Act that requires cooperation between the federal government and state and local law agencies in the enforcement of immigration laws. Learn more from NUMBERSUSA. Start calling your federal and local politician to be found in the blue pages of your phone directory and demand they co-sponsor H.R.1274. Don't let illegal aliens spend your taxes anymore?

Immediate Red flag news: The 9th circuit court in the Sanctuary city of San Francisco that is hated appeals court by patriotic Americans, as its overrun by activist judges (Liberal Progressives) has blocked major sections of the strict Arizona illegal immigration law. Throw out all the pro-illegal immigrant politicians, Governors, Mayors, Police Chiefs and councilors and city managers in the streets.

At the time you were claiming that TSA officials were sexually molesting young children in the airports.

TSA officials are sexually molesting young children (along with others) in the airports every day. This is a continuing problem that will only get worse as pedophiles gravitate toward this emotionally rewarding career choice.

You are absolutely correct that I predicted that the public outrage about this travesty would match mine. You are equally correct that the public outrage at this travesty has not been equal to mine.

Make of it what you will. I said exactly what I meant. This is wrong on so many levels.

The 9th Circuit accounted for both 30 percent of the cases 24 of 80 and 30% of the reversals 18 of 59.

The 9th Circuit’s rulings accounted for more reversals this past term than all the state courts across the country combined and represented nearly half of the overturned judgments 45% of the federal appellate courts.

TSA officials are sexually molesting young children (along with others) in the airports every day. This is a continuing problem that will only get worse as pedophiles gravitate toward this emotionally rewarding career choice.

You are absolutely correct that I predicted that the public outrage about this travesty would match mine. You are equally correct that the public outrage at this travesty has not been equal to mine.

I rest my case. A person could look at this and come to one of two conclusions:

1) That even though the TSA is sexually molesting women and children on a daily basis in our airports, the flying public (i.e., millions of Americans) thinks this is okay, OR

2) That it's not really true that women and children are being sexually molested.

I would have concluded that it's not happening, because I know Americans would not put up with their wives and children being sexually molested. Women would not put up with being sexually molested. And in fact know that it isn't because I fly on a regular basis.

You've concluded that Americans are witnessing the molestation of women and children, and adult women are themselves being molested, but there is no widespread outrage. Utterly ridiculous. That's why I can't ever take your comments seriously.

The U.S Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circus backs Eric Holder. What a shock! This is about politics and the 2012 reelection campaign. The safety of Arizonans is not even a consideration with Obama's DOJ. I'm mad as hell, and I don't even live in Arizona! The arrogance of these people!
